Who would want to harm Hezbullah?

Two rockets slammed into two residential buildings in a southern suburb of Beirut on Sunday just hours after Hezbullah politburo chief Hassan Nasrallah announced that his organization will bring victory to embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. No one has yet taken responsibility for the rockets.

One of the rockets landed in a car sales yard next to a busy road junction in the southern Chiah neighborhood and the other hit an apartment 300 meters away, wounding five people.

...

Syria's two-year uprising has polarized Lebanon, with Sunni Muslims supporting the rebellion against Bashar Assad and Shi'ite Hezbollah standing by the Syrian president.

A wave of fighting in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli between factions supporting opposing sides in the Syrian conflict has killed at least 25 people over the last week.

The bloodshed in Tripoli coincides with a fierce battle in Syria for the border town of Qusair, in which Hezbollah combatants have been fighting alongside Assad's army to drive out Syrian rebels who are supported by foreign fighters.

I wonder who would want to hurt Hezbullah like that.... You can bet it's not the IDF. They know how to aim....

Faster, faster....
